Well, I just brought it out of storage and started using it today, and the keys really don't feel that bad. I think when I replaced it with the Evolution, I was really looking for something very different, but, compared to the standard Dells at work, these domes actually feel pretty good, though, not as good as a mechanical switch (I think brown Cherries would be perfect for this 'board). I have had mine for about 2+ years, now, and it still looks and works great other than the matte finish wearing off on some of the keys. The printing is silkscreened on the keys, but they show no signs of wearing off. I am particularly clean around my keyboards, so mine has been cleaned often, and I make sure my hands are clean before I type, so that contributes to the printing lasting as long as it has. None of my keys stick, either. I don't think they feel quite as nice as brand new, but I do not have any problems typing on it at all, and they are still quite tactile as domes go. The best thing about this 'board is that the layout is standard. A lot of split-layouts have some kind of modified layout to accomodate the somewhat larger size, but the Natural is not much larger (if at all) than my M sitting next to it. I think this is due to the rise in the middle of the 'board shortening the overall length. The pleather wrist rest is awesome, too. I have not seen another 'board (mechanical or otherwise) with a built in wrist rest near as nice as this one. I would say, if the domes don't bother you, this keyboard is the best non-mechanical 'board available. I would definitely buy one and try it, though, as dome 'boards get beat up in stores. The aesthetics and construction are top notch. While I am more about function over form, the Natural is pretty sexy. It is very thin on its profile with clean, modern lines. As far as dome 'boards go, you will not be disappointed (unless some of the bad reviews you have seen are from newer revisions, or something; my birth certificate shows mine is revision 1.0).
